[Pythonmac-SIG] Anybody have a fix for time in 1.5.2c?

[Russell E Owen]

I'm just starting to try to read file creation times and things 
aren't working as expected.

For a file created Jul 5, 2000:

>>>  ap = "RussMain:Desktop Folder:test"
>>>  ct = os.stat(ap)[stat.ST_CTIME]
>>>  ct
3045641098.0
>>>  time.localtime(ct)
(1996, 7, 6, 11, 24, 58, 5, 188, -1)
>>>  time.gmtime(ct)
(1996, 7, 6, 19, 24, 58, 5, 188, -1)

I looked back and found a discussion that was probably about this 
same problem, but no solution. Any suggested patches?

I am still using 1.5.2 because Tk is broken in 2.0 (file events don't work).

P.S. for anybody else using 1.5.2c, here's another fix:
in macpath.py remove all three instances of "stat." or explicitly 
include stat in addition to the existing import stat *.
